How has concrete evolved into a stylish interior-design element?
Zachary: Concrete really lends itself to interior design, mainly because of its versatility and appeal. For countertops, It starts as a formless sort of “soup” that we can add just about anything to…glass, metal, fibers, etc…and then form it into any shape we can imagine. In turn that form can also have function. Its substance and mass creates a warm tactile presence that is inviting and timeless. It can be adapted to any style and compliment other natural materials. Finished concrete is nothing like the rough sidewalks or streets that we most commonly associate concrete with. Really, the only thing that a concrete sidewalk has in common with our countertops is the word “concrete.” Concrete has been around for a long, long time, but only in the last 30 years have we found the beauty and versatility in the material, and new innovations in how and when to use it are being created everyday.
